Electric Heat Rebates
Energy Efficiency Credit Program: 2018
Northwest Rural Public Power District and Tri-State G&T Association, our power supplier, offer rebates through our Energy Efficiency Credit Program to our customers who install energy-efficient heat pumps and HVAC equipment. Rebates must be requested within 120 days of installation.
EER= Energy Efficiency Ratio
SEER=Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating
HSPF=Heating Seasonal Performance Factor
COP=Co-efficent Of Performance
Energy Star Rating - A complete list of energy star equipment is available at www.energystar.gov additional HVAC efficiency ratings can be found at www.ceedirectory.org
